holy shit this makes me wanna go to a pride parade so much. i've never seen a manga depict one before - and i mean, descricbing the actual real-life existing pride movement in Japan

i imagine what happened to Koto happens in real life a lot too - spending your entire life having your entire self rejected and invalidated, then for the first time in your life finding a legit safe space, and realizing there are so many other people just like you. it's powerful stuff

IN OTHER NEWS, THIS STORY IS SO FUCKING BASED

@AlexandraH It was "bacon, lettuce, tomato, and... gari?", which is a type of pickled ginger that is served with sushi.

FYI next month the author is off, so chapter 16 will be in December. A little frustrating since its a cliff hanger but authors need vacation too.

Gosh, now I’m really curious what the lgbt pun on pg 6 was originally, since there’s like sushi in the background

@RedOnYellow I totally see why you would feel that way, I just think that the mc doesn't stand out all that much compared to all the cute traps (+ Kotone) and the relationship between Mogumo and Koto-chan is the kind I happen to really like, so it's really just an opinion based off of my tastes.

@NinjaGoemon nicely said!

Repression is very powerful. Koto had thought that she was alone in liking girls and only really saw Mogu as an out because "technically male". She doesn't hate men; she hates the heteronormality she's expected to subscribe to and hates herself because what she wants is "abnormal". And that worldview is suddenly shattering around her as she realizes she can and deserves to be happy with herself.

Maybe there will be a Koto X Mei route in the future.

@ChocoPurin
Have no idea how you can feel that. The MC has been supporting Mogumo since the beginning, helping Mogumo overcome many barries. Koto-chan up until now has very much been a barrier trying to prevent that and keep Mogumo to herself.
I can only see you prefering Mogumo x Koto if you have a strong preference for yuri (even though it technically isn't).

why you guys mistook her for just men hater, she's gay

Mx. Mogumo, TEAR DOWN THAT CLOSET.

I’m not the only one that would prefer Mogumo to end up with Koto-chan, right? There’s no way it will happen but I think they have more chemistry together than Mogumo and the mc.

@chenando1 @AntePlava there's literally a chapter that explains it. she's a lesbian.

She is "lesbian" for her hatred of men. It's not that she loves someone of the same sex and that's why she needs people to accept their relationship, is that she runs away from men. Marriage because of hate, very good.

Ah. That buzzy feeling where you don't understand what you want or feel that what you want is wrong but suddenly it's right there and People are okay with and supportive of it. It's scary cause your worldview is starting to break and you can't help but cry.

She felt that being a lesbian was wrong but it's not. People are okay with it. Her best friend knows and is waiting for her to come out to them. She's got support! She just doesn't know it.

@chenando1 she's still at odds with it. being friends with mogumo only makes her a little better because they're both different from 'normal' people

oh u poor conflicted child but that doesn't make it okay to lash out on others

Not enough Suzu in that chapter.

Does she not like being leabian or she just thinks she is lesbian because of mogumo? I think she should just start talking about herself already, maybe that way she would feel better at least a little...

The closet is getting torn down real hard
